In reply to Ryan.

Excellent! They have massive waiting lists down here in London and I was incredibly lucky a few years ago to put my name down just as they cleared the list, I only had to wait about 6 weeks in the end! I think the seasons out of sync this year anyway so you may well get bounty, normally our broad beans have finished by now but they’re only just starting.

The awards nothing too special, but they rate all the allotments each year and after being off the list for years our work paid off last year and we shot up. Hopefully we’ve continued to gain on some of the pristine patches this year 🙂

I was quite lucky to get my plot a few weeks back and after the initial clean out (lots of 4-5ft weeds) I am now beginning to see some new beginnings. Although most things are a little late to be planted, I am quite hopeful that I will have a small harvest at least.

Are you in for an award? Do you have awards on your lotty?
